•Oregon City Courier-Herald, 20 January 1899:
Died - William A. Frakes died at the home of his son, Marsh Frakes, at Logan, Or. at 6:16 o'clock p.m. on Saturday, Jan 7, 1899, aged 74 years and 10 months.
The deceased was born in Harrison county, Indiana, March 7, 1824, and married Margaret M. Marsh on May 1, 1854.
Mr. Frakes was an old Union soldier, having enlisted in Company B. 53rd regiment, Indiana Volunteers, at Carydon, Harrison county, Indiana, on Feb. 20, 1862, and was mustered into the United States service Feb. 24, 1862. He left Indianapolis for the field of action on March 16, 1862, and was mustered out at Louisville, Ky., July 21, 1865. Mr. Frakes was promoted to the rank of first sergeant June 1, 1865. He served three years and five months in the army.
His wife died June 10, 1878. Mr. Frakes was the father of five children, three of whom survive him, vis: Hon Philip A. Frakes, county commissioner of Columbia county, Oregon; Mrs. Laura A. Floureu (Florey), of Yamhill county, Oregon, and Marsh Frakes, of Logan, Or.
Mr. Frakes came to Oregon Sept. 17, 1874, and settled near Hillsboro, and later moved to Yamhill county. He was married to Louisa Athey Jan. 6, 1887. His second marriage was of short duration, his wife dying April 20, 1897. He, accompanied by his son, Marsh, moved to Logan, Or., in October, 1895, where he lived until his death.
Mr. Frakes was a member of Harding Grange, P. of H., No. 122, Logan. He possessed noble traits of character and was loved and respected by all who knew him. A large circle of friends mourn his death.
The remains of the deceased were laid to rest in Mountain View cemetery, Logan, last Tuesday morning. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Trugleo, pastor of the German church at this place. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the funeral service was well attended, which shows the sympathies of a sorrowing community for the death of an upright man and citizen. He is gone, but not forgotten.
